Spring 2024

Spring 2024| 17 boundaries and span across continents, with the same incredibly high standards abundant across the board. In an attempt to continually fortify the company’s position at the forefront of the interior design sector, Lana is leveraging the constant stream of new business ideas in her head to craft fresh and exciting concepts that are sure to reaffirm the studio’s authentic nature in a constantly developing sector, but the specific details of which are still under wraps. As Lana explains, “I see every new year as a new challenge, and at the end of each year I look back and analyse our performance. We have set the bar high as we are always striving to outdo ourselves. I always say that we are our own biggest competitors, and that our own limits are the only ones we like to compete with.” Lana’s fiercely competitive attitude can be traced back to her previous career, where not only was she a member of Croatia’s national taekwondo team, but she also won the title of European Junior Champion in the sport, and for a time, was the third highest-ranking competitor in the word. Aside from this, Lana’s master’s degree in journalism and time spent as a sports journalist would also shape her future endeavour in the interior design space, as she has had the opportunity to travel across the globe and be provided with a unique insight into a multitude of cultures. Elaborating on how this journey resulted in a career in interior design, Lana tells us, “during my sports career I developed an interest in hotels and accommodation properties where we stayed, and I noticed things others didn’t when it comes to design and aesthetics. I knew then and there that this would be my future calling and that I would share the experience I obtained while travelling with others and use it to shape their living spaces.” Bolstered by such experiences that reveal themselves across the team’s vast portfolio, Lana Banely Design has quickly ascended the ranks of interior design, winning six international awards last year alone. Only four years into this journey, Lana and her team are really only just beginning, and having set the bar exceptionally high from the off, things are only set to improve as time and experience increase concurrently. In closing, Lana tells us, “we are continuing to grow and push past our own limits”, and by building off of perfection, one can only imagine what the future will hold for the luxury interior design landscape with Lana Banely as a key player.
